HIV has become a manageable chronic condition, one of the major successes of modern medicine. People living with HIV can now expect near-normal life expectancy with effective treatment, yet important challenges remain. Comorbidities, prevention of new infections, and the persistence of stigma continue to affect outcomes. Addressing these issues requires coordinated care, with general practice, hospital services and specialist HIV teams working closely together. This article aims to support healthcare professionals by summarising current best practice in treatment, outlining advances in prevention and early diagnosis, and exploring how stigma can be reduced both within healthcare and in the wider community. These efforts are essential if the UK is to meet its goal of ending new HIV transmissions by 2030.
